meeting in various communities
with precinct workers who took
the lead in May to assure Texas
of an uninstructed delegation to
the National Democratic conven-
tion.
Shivers pointed out in connec-
tion with his campaign tour that
he has responded to the invita-
tions of the people to visit in their
communitiesr during the campaign,
as best he could, considering the
brevity of the time available.
“I try to know at all times what
Texans want, need and think,” he
emphasized.
Unrestricted
Scholarships
Open at UofH
Houston.—A total of $8,000 in
unrestricted scholarships are now
open for competition to high school
graduates of local schools who wish
to attend the University of Hous-
ton next fall, Bill Hooper, assist-
ant director of the Office of Loans
and Scholarships, announced.
Letters of application must be
in the loans and scholarships office
before July 15, Mr. Hooper said.
The scholarships, offered by Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Parry of 2*407
Polham in Houston, are also open
to present students of the Uni-
versity of Houston.
The scholarship will finance tui-
tion, books, fees, and in some in-
stances, incidental expenses for the
deserving students in any classifi-
cation or any field of study.

Austin.—Allan Shivers took off
his formal governor’s coat this
week to hit the hot July Texas
campaign trails for 15 days of in-
tensive travel before he leaves for
the national Democratic conven-
tion in Chicago the week of July
20.
* Shivers’ jammed-packed
paign tour will take him
much of Texas—from small com-
munities like Dime Box in Lee
i County to metropolitan communi-
ties of Houston and San Antonio.
His tour will start on July 4
following a busy week at the na-
tional governors’ conference at
Houston, where Shivers participat-
ed with 46 othei* governors in
mapping out programs for contin-
ued improvements in state hospit-
als and schools, betterment of pris-
on systems, highways, farm-to-
mar'ket roads and educational sys-
tems.
Shivers, who has always spent
much of his time visiting with the
people and listening to their ideas
for the betterment of state gov-
ernment, will hit the general areas
of Stamford, Abilene, El Paso,
Texarkana, Paris, Tyler, Waco,
Corsicana, Mexia, Hillsboro, Tem-
ple, Brownfield, Lubbock, Lamesa,
San Angelo, Odessa, Midland, Ker-
mit, San Antonio, Houston, Bay-
town, Beaumont and Port Arthur
from July 4 to July 17.
During the past several weeks
the governor has been speaking
and working more on precinct
meetings than on his own cam-
paign, devoting a great deal of time

; Age for 4000 years, and the Iron
Age 2500 years. Today we see the
’ transition already from the Steel
, Age to the rapidly increasing usage
of aluminum, magnesium and plas-
tics. There is no limit to these
■ commodities; aluminum is found
everywhere on Earth, magnesium
comes to us from the sea, and
plastics may be made from almost
any organic substance. For forty
years now we have been on the
brink of using up oui’ oil and nat-
ural gas reserves, yet through new
discoveries, we double our produc-
tion almost every year. We see
now, how impossible it is that our
oil and gas was formed millions
of years ago, from decomposing
animal matter, since these could
not possibly have existed, not all
those marine animals, and they
could not possibly have reached
such tremendous depths in the
Earth’s crust. We have a vague
idea that Cosmic Rays have some-
thing to do with these formations,
and they do not take a million years
or even a millionth of a second,
when they decide to do something.
These strange high speed visitors
that come from far beyond the
Milky Way, reach the attracting
center of our Earth, and penetrate
miles of solid rock with no sign
of speed reduction. This is about
all we know of Cosmic Rays, so
here alone is a vast storehouse
for future research, and infinitely
more power and energy than we
shall ever need.
Much closer to home are the re-
mendous sources of energy given
to us daily, through the light and
heat of the Sun; they give us our
food, clothing and shelter with
scarce a word of thanks. If we
wish to draw on the Sun’s surplus
energy, there is plenty of it there,
for industrial purposes, yet all we
do with it is boil a little water
perhaps, or burn a hole in a piece
of paper by using a lens. Indirect-
ly all the energy of our coal, oil
and gas originally came from the
Sun and other stars, and yet, when
we use up these little quantities of
storage, we fret and worry. Sup-
pose it were possible to burn up
all the fuel on and in the Earth’s
crust, the Sun’s rays would still
be there to be used directly in-
stead of indirectly. The atmosphere
and the sea alone, contain more
energy, food and fuel than man
shall ever need; but we had bet-
ter develop our intellects by study
and research, and stop worrying
about the raw material.

Technical Talks
By W. R. (Doc) HOUNSELL
As we advance, not in years
merely, jbut in universal units of
intelligence, we find it compulsory
to discard old standards of thought,
or theories, and continually gradu-
ate into new conceptions, ad in-
finitum. Instead of doing our best
to function properly, however, in
this glorious supernatural theme,
we still possess the ancient habit
of contemplating some impending
doom. We still believe in some fu-
ture terrible catastrophe when our
coal, metal and oil resources are
all used up, for instance. Even
today, with our possession of as-
tounding quantities of atomic pow-
er, which when utilized correctly,
is perpetual, we still believe that
when jour supply of uranium is
exhausted, all our scientific ac-
cumulation of knowledge will be
for naught. Our worries are not|
abated, though we know that
atomic power is not limited to
uranium, but exists in full force,
in all elements, only a few of
which we have so far successfully
investigated. For some obsolete
reason, we insist that our natural
resources are each locked up in a
storehouse; then we discover the
key to the door, and start shovel-
ing it out for our industrial con-
sumption. When the resource is
completely used up, then that is
all, and we are doomed. If we wish
to look at civilization with such
restricted vision, we should at least
remember that before any resource
is completely used up someone
always finds a key and another
door to a much bigger storeroom.
The old falacy that our Earth is
shriveling up, cooling down and
slowing down, is still worrying
some people, when we know now
that the reverse is true. So we
are apparently not doomed to
planetary disaster and shall carry
on as a cog in the Universal wheel
for several millions of years yet
to come. Our new theories are
usually much happier news-car-
riers than our old ones, so let us
not tie ourselves down to some
ancient millstone, lest the waters
of wisdom drown us.
Just a few months ago, a young
student of electronics, became in-
terested in Cosmic Rays and his
curiosity has revolutionized the en-
tire science of modern astronomy.
From some old pieces of sheet
iron he made a parabolic reflector
which could be directed at any
spot in the visible starry heavens,
at night, and thus collect cosmic
rays from any such heavenly spot.
Then by means of his special an-
tenna and receiver he found that
the rays or waves were coming
much more copiously from the
black spot in the Milky Way, than
from the billions of stars in the
bright places. It of course took
quite some time to persuade the
astronomers and electronic wizards,
of such profound nonsense, but who
can gain say the truth, the es-
sence of wisdom ? All of our most
powerful telescopic lenses are now
obsolete, and this young man’s in-
vention is now called the Elec-
tronic Telescope. We have reached
far beyond the possibilities of mir-
rors and lenses, and the optical
methods of astronomic research
must take a secondary place. Al-
ready we have newly discovered
that the Universe is not a limited
thing, but that it is expanding at
a tremendous rate, faster even
than the speed of light. This knowl-
edge does however limit our cer-
tainty: although billions of new
stars and galaxies of stars are now
within our recording range, yet
there is now a definite limit to
what man can ever know about
this Universe. In America, an
enormous reflector is being erect-
ed for research purposes, and in
England, a parabolic reflector, with
a floating action, is being built,
that will take three years to com-
plete. This young man’s curiosity
has therefore found a key and a
new door to open, and what a
storehouse he has discovered.
Something else to remember is
that each succeeding scientific age
is always of shorter duration than
it’s predecessor. The Stone Age
lasted hundreds of thousands of
years, the Copper Age and Bronze

And they said, Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou salt
be saved, and thy house.—(Acts
16:31.)
As individuals and as a nation,
today we stand in the need of
belief as perhaps never before; in
the face of unknown, terrible dang-
er, where shall we turn ? Our
faith in the Lord and His good-
ness and power will surely sus-
tain us, if we but remember the
promise of the hymn: “All things
are possible, only believe.”
